I forgot to discuss this before we started this year, but the default trade deadline is November 18, which is in a few days. Typically in my leagues we extend the trade deadline out as far as you can (Dec 2 this year). Does anyone object to extending the deadline?

I don't see a downside - the teams at the bottom aren't going to throw the season intentionally and they have a motivation to get better for the relegation bowl anyway.

I have no idea who to sit between Schaub, Ryan, and Sanchez this week. Pretty sure I'm going to pick the wrong one.

Well congrats! You might not have to make that choice anymore.

Since no one objected, I pushed the trade deadline out to Dec 2.

Varlos you have players out for the afternoon games that need a fix.

All the good teams are going to win this week, so no real change to the playoff picture, which is bad for me.

How I miss you Jamal Charles. You were going to be great.

What is the playoff structure for this league? The schedule shows me playing teams through week 17.

SenorBeef

11-21-2011, 02:04 PM

There's a (manual) two week playoff between the top 2 teams in week 15-16 for the championship, and a relegation bowl during the same weaks where the bottom two teams play and the loser gets ejected from the league.

Are you guys falling asleep at the switch? Kevin Smith just got taken for $1.

You should be playing to not end up in the relegation bowl if nothing else.

SenorBeef

11-25-2011, 02:00 PM

Everything is pretty much going according to projection between Jules and I, except Laurent Robison tripling his. Which is bad, since he has a huge projected lead on me.

I probably blew my FAAB early, considering people are apparently asleep at the switch at this stage and valuable players are going for next to nothing.

It's hard to envision a scenario where I end up as anything but third this year, damn.

*shrug* I don't need running backs.

SenorBeef

11-27-2011, 03:43 PM

Well, it's starting to look promising. I had a good fourth quarter of the early games. TDs from Newton, Ryan, Damian Williams, Holmes and Sanchez.

Varlos is ahead of Retrovertigo, who had a terrible week - and that's even better.

If this continues, I will move into the 2nd seed.

SenorBeef

11-27-2011, 04:04 PM

Last minute substitute of Green-Ellis for Helu is looking good, although Helu is doing well too.

It's unlikely but a scenario is shaping up where either Retro or Jules can miss the playoffs, which would probably be unfair to either. Then again, they've got some time to make up for today, so it might not be unfair it they can't.

SenorBeef

11-27-2011, 07:31 PM

Damn it, Brady to Welker.

I need Mike Wallace to score 15 more points than Antonio Brown.

Edit: Re: Last post, Helu scored 26 points. *headdesk*

Jules Andre

11-27-2011, 08:37 PM

I thought for sure I had no shot this week. Brady to Welker x2 saved my ass. Been saving my ass all season, really. It was a minor, fleeting comfort to the debacle that was that Pats/Eagles game.

SenorBeef

11-28-2011, 12:52 AM

Well this doesn't end my potential playoff run, but it does make it pretty unlikely. Congrats on your win.

11-28-2011, 08:47 AM

Well, barring a Jimmy Graham explosion, I am now clear of the relegation zone, as I'll have two wins over Omni.

SenorBeef

11-28-2011, 10:40 PM

Well Drew Brees getting 43+ points means I'm out.

I'm not sure how you're figuring that.

SenorBeef

He didn't account for the Victor Cruz explosion.

But even then you'd be tied at 4-8 with Omni having the tiebreaker.

Omniscient

11-28-2011, 10:48 PM

Well, I had a decent lead going into the night and with Graham and Cruz versus Eli and Meachem I considered the win a foregone conclusion.

Well, I had a decent lead going into the night and with Graham and Cruz versus Eli and Meachem I considered the win a foregone conclusion.
Eh? You were down by 6. I figured Cruz and Graham would combine for 25 points, Eli would score 20, and I'd win by whatever I got out of Meachem.

Oh well.

Are we carrying waiver money over into next season?

Trading deadline is this Friday, Dec 2. Please check your leagues/offers often during the next few days.

SenorBeef

11-29-2011, 10:40 PM

Things were looking up around the third quarter of the late games - Varlos was about tied with Retro with 5 vs 2 players left to play, and I had a decent lead on Jules with more players to play. And then Jules gets like 19 Brady to Welker TDs and Retro has Brees put up 43. And there goes my season.

I'd have to win out, and Retro lose out to get in the playoffs. Jules is pretty much guaranteed a spot. Wish I had a chance to play Retro before the season ended to give me a chance.

Edit: I guess we shouldn't really say playoffs, but rather championship.

Jules Andre

12-04-2011, 12:53 PM

I'm glad that Matt Forte is out already with a knee injury and won't return. Varlos is going to get his second win against me, his second win total. I hate fantasy football.

And there's Mendenhall with his second TD already. i really hate fantasy football.

Jules Andre

12-11-2011, 12:01 PM

It took me eleven minutes to make three changes to my fantasy teams this morning. Yahoo making me really nervous, I hope those changes actually went through.

SenorBeef

12-11-2011, 12:12 PM

List them (very soon) and I'll make sure they go through wheter or not they got in under the buzzer. Had trouble making a last minute switch myself but it took.

I think they went through, but they weren't all in this league. Thanks though.

I'm thinking I'll win today and the next three weeks, but lose the important two.

SenorBeef

12-11-2011, 12:56 PM

If I win today, I'm going to go 10-4 and miss the playoffs. That's kind of hard to do, even in our format.

What week do the playoffs/eliminations start?

SenorBeef

12-11-2011, 02:43 PM

15-16 is the two game championship, as well as the relegation bowl.

Really Not All That Bright

12-11-2011, 03:42 PM

Okay. Are we just going with a straight draft order for next season? Or will the #3 and 4 teams play for the 3rd pick in 15/16?

SenorBeef

12-11-2011, 03:47 PM

I hadn't really considered the results this year affecting the draft next year. It isn't a dynasty league so it's not like we need to help the guy with the worst roster, since we'll all be starting fresh. So I figured we'd just do a random draw again.

Really Not All That Bright

12-11-2011, 04:05 PM

That makes sense, I guess.

Glad my HHM and Super League games are meaningless this week, seeing as both my opponents have MJD.

SenorBeef

12-11-2011, 11:41 PM

Well I did it, went 10-4 and missed the playoffs on a tiebreaker.

Jules Andre and Retrovertigo play for the championship. RNATB and Varlos play to see who gets booted next year.

SenorBeef

12-14-2011, 10:00 PM

Remember that the combined scores over weeks 15 and 16 will determine the winners of each of the games. Loser of the relegation bowl is dropped from the league next year.

I'm up on Varlos by 60ish in part one of the Relegation Bowl. He still has half the Steelers to play though.

Omniscient

12-20-2011, 12:00 AM

I know it doesn't matter at all, but I loved beating Varlos tonight in dramatic fashion. He had Big Ben, Mendenhall and the Pitt D against my Gore and 15 points or so. I expected it to be no contest, he seemed like a lock to make up that difference. And with about 10 minutes left to go in the game he had a tidy 5 point lead. Then when Gore finally broke free for the clinching TD it netted me 8 points or so and cost his defense 4 points. A 5 point deficit immediately turned into a 7 lead which was further secured when Ben got sacked like 5 times and threw a pick. I had some worry about a garbage time TD to get him back over the top, but we held on for the meaningless victory.

RNATB is the first relegation victim and will be replaced next year.

In the championship game:

Retrovertigo scores 267.09 and 294.00 for a total of 561.09
Jules Andre scores 250.80 and 254.55 for a total of 505.35

Retrovertigo is our champion.

In the non-existent 2 week 3rd place match-up between me and Beef:

Omni scores 229.70 and 245.25 for a total of 474.95.
Beef scores 209.50 and 210.60 for a total of 420.10.

Ha! :p

ETA: It's marginally interesting how these scores slot right in between those of the other two games, and how the playoff scores mostly mirror the regular season results. It seems that with the size of these rosters there's less chance of there's being a lucky match-up dictated win and scores are normalized pretty well.

I'm going to go ahead and throw my hat (back) into the ring for this league. Resume:

SDMB Big League:
I finished with a #5 seed (w/o divisions I'd have been #2), but was the top-scoring team during the regular season, beating the #2 team by over 100 points. I'll end up in 4th (with an outside chance at 3rd) after losing Forte going into the playoffs.

SDMB All-Pro League:
Finished the regular season with the #2 seed and the 2nd highest point total, finished in 3rd place after my studs all simultaneously shit the bed in the second round of the playoffs.

He Hate Me:
Lost Jamaal Charles in Week 1, mortgaged this year's team for the future of Tashard Choice, AJ Green, Julio Jones, and/or Alex Green. Shitty 12th place finish, making a playoff (or even consolation bracket) push was not in the cards this year.

Looks like you guys had fun this year.
